Hello,

I have a dropdown that I need to populate based on a variable. For instance, when I'm in the edit form I need the dropdown to display all of the objectives that start with "3." if the variable name varID is set to 3. If varID is set to "5" then it displays all objectives that start with "5.", etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Filter dropdown based on variable

@Drrickryp "Objectives" in the "Form-Test" list is actually a Lookup column from another List called "Objectives". It's pulling over the title field from the objectives list and it displays the values 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc.

Sorry I didn't make that clear in the beginning.

@ChrisS81

The Items property of the dropdown should be Filter(splist, StartsWith(Objectives, varID))
